About the show

The GFL is a "Space Opera" series of books described as STAR WARS meets THE BLINDSIDE meets THE GODFATHER.  Set in a lethal pro football league 700 years in the future, THE ROOKIE is a story that combines the intense gridiron action of "Any Given Sunday" with the space opera style of "Star Wars" and the criminal underworld of "The Godfather." Aliens and humans alike play positions based on physiology, creating receivers that jump 25 feet into the air, linemen that bench-press 1,200 pounds, and linebackers that literally want to eat you. Organized crime runs every franchise, games are fixed, and rival players are assassinated.  This multi-part scifi/crime/sports mashup follows a professional American football team across a far-future galaxy. Travel to new worlds, meet new races, and put their quarterback into the dirt. Each novel and novella in the series is or will have its own season, so be sure to start from the beginning. Season 1: THE ROOKIE (GFL Book I) | 27 episodes  Follow the story of Quentin Barnes, a 19-year-old quarterback prodigy who has been raised all his life to hate and kill those aliens. Quentin must deal with his racism and learn to lead, or he'll wind up just another stat in the column marked "killed on the field." Season 2: TITLE FIGHT (GFL Novella I) | 10 episodes Season 3: THE STARTER (GFL Book II) | 36 episodes Season 4: THE ALL-PRO (GFL Book III) | 36 episodes Season 5: THE RIDER (GFL Novella II) | 16 episodes Season 6: THE DETECTIVE (GFL Novella III) | 10 episodes Season 7: THE REPORTER (GFL Novella IV) | 12 episodes Season 8: THE MVP (GFL Book IV) | 38 episodes Season 9: THE REEF (GFL Novella V) | 13 episodes Season 10: THE CHAMPION (GFL Book V) | 39 episodes Season 11: THE STONE WOLVES (GFL Novella VI) | 33 episodes Next Season: THE GANGSTER (GFL Book VI) Written and Performed by Scott Sigler Produced by AB Kovacs and Arioch Morningstar Engineered by Steve Riekeberg Production Assistance by Allie Press Copyright 2026 by Empty Set Entertainment  Consultation by Evo Terra For more from Scott Sigler, please visit https://scottsigler.com
